## About

YALWEE - yet another lightweight execution environment.

The project is divided into multiple parts:

  1. interpreter parts (written in x86_64 assembly)

  2. interpreter builder scripts

  3. embedding API

  4. useful utilities and scripts (tooling)

The user writes an *specification* which selects parts

to be included into execution environment (interpreter).

Specification can be used to build interpreter and associated

bindings/extensions for programming languages.

For example, one can create some interpreter and embed it

into *Ruby* programming language.

Once embedded, generated API can be used to emit wordcode

(2-byte wide bytecode) at run time. Emitted code can be

evaluated by embedded interpreter.
